Frequently Asked Questions

To help you decide, we've compiled answers to common questions about our Custom Tours. Curious about itineraries, accommodations, or logistics? Our FAQs cover it all. For personalized advice, our Golf Travel Experts are ready to assist.

• How far in advance should I book a trip to ensure best availability?

  Our best advice is to decide on your preferred trip and confirm the dates as soon as possible, for everything is a component of availability. If you are traveling during high season, the golf courses can have significant demand and sooner we are able to submit your groups request for tee times and similarly to the hotels, the likelihood of securing your exact, preferred schedule is enhanced.

• What is the optimum size of a group?

  Every group has different dynamics but we believe that groups of 8 travelers are more preferred, for two reasons; (1) a group of 8 people remains small enough that everyone can interact with each other easily and (2) in terms of access to golf tee times and hotel arrangements we have found this size of group to be the easiest to accommodate. Of course, we are delighted to assist with groups of 2 to 150 travelers.

• When is the best time to travel?

  It varies by destination. High season (for golf) is as follows;

  • Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, France & Italy
    April – October.
    During the summer season you will enjoy the best possible chance of good weather. However Britain does experience changeable, unpredictable weather year round and it is therefore best to anticipate.
    
    
  • New Zealand & Australia
    September – April
    Peak season is December - February/March
    
    
  • Spain, Portugal & South Africa
    January - December
    South Africa is attractive all year round. Many prefer to visit from October - March. The summer months in the south of Spain and Portugal can be very hot and the condition of the courses deteriorates. Therefore the peak seasons in Spain and Portugal would be April – June & September – November.
• What forms of payment do you accept?

  Checks, MasterCard, VISA, American Express or wire transfer/ACH

• Do I need travel insurance?

  We strongly suggest and offer an attractive travel protection program. This information is described on the reservations forms.

• When will I receive final travel information?

  We ordinarily distribute final travel information 21 days in advance of departure. This includes all hotel contact details for your trip along with other pertinent information.
